Walking in the Spirit

Jun 16, 2024    Pastor Cary T. Nelson, PhD

In this insightful sermon, Pastor Cary emphasizes the importance of living a life empowered by the Holy Spirit. The message begins with a reflection on the challenges of the Christian walk and the necessity of relying on the Holy Spirit to overcome these challenges and live victoriously. The speaker highlights that believers are called to live by the Spirit, not by the flesh, and this requires a continuous, active relationship with God.


Drawing from various scriptures, including Galatians 5:16-25 and Romans 8:1-14, the sermon explains the contrast between living according to the flesh and living according to the Spirit. The speaker underscores that living by the Spirit leads to life and peace, while living by the flesh leads to death. The message also touches on the fruits of the Spirit, encouraging the congregation to cultivate these attributes in their daily lives as evidence of their spiritual growth and maturity.


Cary also emphasizes the power and authority that come from being filled with the Holy Spirit, referencing Acts 1:8 and Ephesians 3:16-20. Believers are reminded that they have been given the authority to overcome the enemy and live in the fullness of God's promises. The sermon concludes with a call to action, urging the congregation to seek a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit, to be continuously filled with His power, and to live out their faith boldly and victoriously.
